Andy Cohen was 'disaster' shooting And Just Like That cameo
The Watch What Happens Live presenter made a brief appearance as a Bergdof Goodman employee named Daniel in the latest episode of the show and though he only had one line of diaglogue in the scene with Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw, he still struggled.
Speaking on his SiriusXM show, Andy said: "I think the line in the script was just like, 'Oh hey, Carrie, I'll be with you in a sec.'
"Shooting these shows for me is very difficult. You have to literally walk four steps, say your line at a particular spot, and then keep going. There's a lot of blocking involved, and I just don't — I'm not good at it."
After a few attempts, showrunner Michael Patrick King changed Andy's line to: "Hey, Carrie, I'm slammed, I'll be with you in a minute."
However, the broadcaster was reprimanded for his intense delivery.
He admitted: "When I tell you that I was marching out like, 'Carrie, I am slammed! I'm gonna be with you in a minute!'
"And Michael Patrick King comes over after we do it twice and he goes, 'Um, this is a really pivotal scene for Carrie.' He didn't tell me, but now I know that she just had a big fight with Aiden."
Michael told Andy: "You're stealing focus from Carrie. The episode title should now be called Daniel's Busiest Day. And it's not about Daniel's Busiest Day, keep it on Carrie!'"
Andy also received advice from Sarah.
He added: "It was very specific and I was saying it in the wrong place. I was just a disaster. But it was so funny, the idea that it was 'Daniel's Busy Day.'"
The 57-year-old producer joked that the scene used was "the best they could get".
The scene marked a call-back to Andy's previous appearance on Sex and the City, having played a then-unnamed shoe salesman during the sixth season, with Entertainment Weekly confirming was the same character.
But Andy also had another cameo earlier in the original programme's run.
He shared a screenshot in 2018 and wrote on Instagram: "You may know that I was a Barney's shoe salesman in the last season of #SATC but were you aware I appeared in Season 4 (I think) shirtless in a gay bar standing next to Carrie Bradshaw? (sic)"
However, that scene was cut from TV but can be seen in the DVD.

And Just Like That recap: Justice for Steve!
Neither, sadly, is Charlotte's emotional collapse – if that is what the writers are hinting at. Last we saw her she was falling over from vertigo. This week, Char is trying to log on to a Zoom meeting, but her house is chaos. She's replacing the wallpaper, a task requiring half-a-dozen men with power tools. Rock is tap-dancing (?) with Henry (?) because they got cast in Thoroughly Modern Millie (?). Amid the noise Charlotte is struggling to connect with someone we assume is a therapist but ends up being a psychic healer who resents Char for only bidding $40 for this session at a silent auction. She keeps her camera off until they finally connect in a quiet room and Charlotte mentions Harry's cancer. The psychic flicks her camera on and it's Susie Essman! But that's it, end of storyline. What?? This episode is flooded with ghosts – Aidan, Margaret Thatcher, Adam's mother and Steve's hang-ups over Miranda's pregnancy with Brady – but we cut the line to the spirit world there? Seema began the season so quick to reject anyone at the slightest hint of disagreement or incompatibility but Adam's showing her even if she pushes after 'killing his mother' by tipping a plant out the window, he's not going anywhere. She's got her driver back, he's got a gorgeous rent-controlled apartment. They're perfectly aligned for a future flush with cash and armpit-huffing. I'm into it. Before we get to the excellent roommates in Gramercy, two quick notes on Anthony and Giuseppe shacking up. First, wasn't Giuseppe's mother shopping for 'queer masters' to adorn the SoHo loft she was buying him two episodes ago? Why is he rooming with an elderly puppet maker? Secondly: asking your hot boyfriend to trade a 'sweet, asexual roommate' in for 'a sexual' one is an excellent way to ask him to move in. I give the writers a lot of grief, so it's only right I also give it up once in a while when they get it right. Loading Time for the heart of this episode. I'm suddenly giddy seeing Carrie on my screen again! Sure, she's still possessed by the spirit of a woman called The Woman from the 1840s, but she's lighter. Her home is not filled with a man and his awful children, but with shoes, Vivienne Westwood gowns, reams of printed pages and Duncan. She has chairs! Duncan is thrilled by Carrie's writing, and she glows under his praise. They're so playful with one another. It's a delight. They have a 'who's a bigger bestseller' pissing contest. He's tickled by her fun frocks and what goes on in her office. He wants her to come to a party with him. A party where his publisher, who's also his ex-wife, raves about Carrie the moment she walks in. We so rarely get to see our girls through other people's eyes and I appreciate the praise. It's been years since anyone – besides Candice Bergen with her menopausal Goop newsletter – has acknowledged Carrie as a notable person in this city. I'm so glad she swapped the black heels for her sparkliest pair. We learn Duncan is leaving for London the next week, but Thatcher isn't finished. He's missed a deadline but got a lifeline – which is cheesy and also the kind of thing a certain woman would've written in her column many moons ago. The way they look sipping a post-coital scotch and discussing their books in bed makes so much sense. Carrie believes the woman will die of loneliness. Duncan urges her to let the character live. I'm doing the same, begging creator Michael Patrick King to keep Carrie like this for a little longer.

Miley Cyrus planning 'something really special' for Hannah Montana's 20th anniversary
Miley Cyrus is planning 'something really special' for Hannah Montana's 20th anniversary. Miley, 32, shot to fame in the Disney show – which ran for four seasons from 2006 to 2011 – and she revealed she would love to pay tribute to the series with a special celebration next year. She told SiriusXM's TikTok Radio: 'I want to design something really, really special for it because it really was the beginning of all of this that now sits here today. Without Hannah, there really wouldn't be this kind of… this me.' The show starred Cyrus as Miley Stewart, a teenage girl living a double life as famous pop singer Hannah Montana and Miley is excited to celebrate the character. She said: 'It's so crazy to think, too, that I started as a character that I thought was going to be impossible to shed. And now that's something that when I walk into a space, it's looked at as this sense of nostalgia or something that you have from your childhood, but I've now been as kind of integrated into everyone's life as the character itself. So that's exciting to get to celebrate that.' While Miley was initially keen to shed her squeaky clean image and leave the character behind after the show ended, she revealed last year that she still feels a lot of affection for Hannah Montana. During her speech as she accepted her award as a Disney Legend, Miley said: 'A little bit of everything has changed, ... but at the same time, nothing has changed at all, I stand here still proud to have been Hannah Montana. "In so many ways, this award is dedicated to Hannah and all of her amazing loyal fans, and to everyone who has made my dream a reality. To quote the legend herself, 'This is the life.' " And, Miley would be open to revisiting the character. During an appearance on the Carolina With Greg T In The Morning radio show in 2020, she said: "You know what honestly, I try to put that wig on all the time. She's just in storage collecting dust and I'm ready to whip her out ... The opportunity will present itself. "I definitely would like to resurrect her at some point. She needs a big makeover because she's kinda stuck in 2008, so we'll need to go shopping with Miss Montana."
